Brenda was one of the only people in Ponderosa that wasn't bitter and greeted everyone, iirc. I don't see how that's someone dishing it but not willing to take it? :shrug

That does not mean that she has poor attitude too, right?

The wording there completely confused me. Anyways, Brenda has a wonderful attitude, she's great all around and she needs to be back on my television screen ASAP.

I lol'd because I seemed like I'm looking for someone to agree with me. :lol:

Brenda Lowe :wub: I hope she wins the next AS but I know it will be hard to achieve it considering that she had a notorious reputation in Nicaragua.

Yes, you told me that you like her before but have you watched the Ponderosa vids?

A few. I didn't really get the impression that she was one of the least bitter jurors or anything, but then again, I didn't follow them very closely. If you and AFE say she was, I'll buy it. What I'm mainly referring to is her utter resignation once she found out the numbers had turned against her. There was no fight, no passion. She clearly reveled in her reign as queen. But once she became a victim, she quickly turned to feeling sorry for herself and didn't show that drive to win the game even when the cards weren't in her favor. Granted, a lot of that was her (perhaps warranted) pride, and that's always fun to see in a Survivor character. I'd rather see Brenda back than almost anyone else in the cast. But I'm not particularly excited about the prospect, given her attitude about her boot the last time around.

I, for one, hated every time Jane lasted an unnecessary amount of time in the endurance challenges. It was just yet another example of her pandering to the audience so she could be America's sympathetic favorite at the expense of her real strategic game. She wasn't anything special in most challenges, and that's something she should have played up, rather than doing her damnedest to try to look like a physical threat. :eyes


How can winning challanges be pandering to the audience? :shifty :lawl
You shallow cunts all just hate her because she is old and fugly. :jerkit

Because her #1 goal was to seem like a strong woman who was out there to win for her family that had been wrecked by tragedy? Nearly everything she did was just for appearances. She didn't hold on in those endurance challenges because she enjoyed it (and certainly not for any strategic reason). She did it to look like a fighter.

And, I mean, she's admitted that she was playing for the $100,000 rather than the grand prize, so I don't think interpreting any of her actions as an extension of that motivation is too absurd. :shrug

I understand that. But I think that she already defended herself in the interviews etc and she learned her lesson.

AFE, that picture is awesome. That is one of her facial expressions that I love seeing from her. I love her facial expressions. But that facial expression annoyed some too. I don't know why.

I think that she just naturally have a strong and brave facial expression. I don't see arrogance in it. Instead, I see confidence.

Antifeminist bullshit no? She couldn't have won the challenges based on anything but the ability to actually win challenges. I enjoyed her winning for the lulz.
Although I will admit that her bitterness about Chase was kind of hate worthy.

People with notorious reputations have been known to win AS seasons, amirite?

Oh wait I forgot Amber won AS, not Rob.

But I mean, didn't Parv have a big target on her back in Micro? I know her reputation isn't really comparable to Brenda's, but still..

And then there's Sandra. She was notorious for just being mouthy though, not a threat. Whatevz.

I kind of think Brenda was a bit overrated though? (Don't kill me)

Like PT said, she kind of seemed like she could dish it but not take it.

Meh, that's not one of her best pictures, I don't think. I mean, sure I kind of liked her pre-season, but when it started, it's pretty well documented I hated her. Actually, going back over my Nicaragua ranking thread in GTS, it's funny that I started out liking Jane and disliking Brenda/Holly and that by the time Brenda got booted my opinions were like, reversed. Oh, that and I got a ton of flak because I called Brenda racist at the start and thought Sash was kidding, then I realized it was the other way around, and cut her some slack. Doesn't beat that whole "you just hate black widows" argument though. :P

Edit: Also, I highly doubt PT is anti-feminist. He just seems...equalist or whatever the equivalent would be. He hates people equally regardless of gender.

People just like Brenda as a player. Not every Brenda fan is saying that she's the best (although I think she's the best player in Nicaragua) but us fans, accepted her mistakes just like how she accepted hers so I don't think she's overrated.

ETA: PT likes Brenda :)

I like Brenda.

I rooted against Chase the entire season, but I really do appreciate what a unique player he is. He was very competent at making deals, getting inside alliances, and playing the game, but for the most part, these all happened because he was nice. And in the end, he was too nice for Survivor. I think there was a very nice dichotomy you don't see very often on the show, and with him being one vote away from winning, I think his edit was very artistically unified. He just barely too nice during the entire game.

It's just that Chase is an embarrassment to straight guys everywhere.

Lol someone is insecure. :lol:

And how was Chase a follower and a pussy? He played for himself and ultimately went against his feelings and voted out the right people when he had to.

Oh and Marty is a hypocrite who can only dream of being as good as he is at the game of Survivor. ;)
No.
